Shortcomings of the Proposed Electronic Freedom of Information Improvement Act (S.1090).
Gellman, Robert
Government Information Quarterly, v14 n1 p1-10 1997
The intention of S.1090 is to improve the existing Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), but in its current form, it is technologically out of date, will burden the administrative process, and will delay disclosure. Examines general considerations for amendments, technology and information law, and technological and administrative problems with the proposed law. (PEN)
